Calculated XANES spectra for the Ti L2,3 edge of SrTiO3 (red, solid line) compared to experimental data (blue, dotted line) and a multiplet calculation44 (green, dashed line). Due to the close spacing of the edges the full MPSE was not included. Instead, the imaginary part of the self-energy was applied by aligning the onset with respect to each edge and including a core-hole lifetime (0.10 eV and 0.24 eV), shifting between the two at 461.5 eV. This lifetime broadening also neglects solid-state Coster-Kronig and phonon effects.
